Sitting in a back office recently at the Capital Punishment
Harrisburg Boxing Club — not far from those pouring sweat pounding a heavy bag
or those exchanging blows with an equally willing sparring partner — a weary
Jason Bryant leaned into a chair and provided an update concerning his
organization's latest venture.

"We're pretty much there, man," Bryant said.

So with some two anxious weeks to go, the professional
boxing show scheduled for July 19 on the Market Street side of the Dauphin
County Courthouse in downtown Harrisburg is moving ahead at a rapid pace as
things quickly come together.

Danny Lugo, shown working out at Capital Punishment Harrisburg Boxing Club earlier this week, hopes to snap a three-bout losing streak when he fights Ohio's Antonio Walls on July 19 in downtown Harrisburg.Michael Bullock, PennLive.com

Plus, according to the folks at CPHB, Arooga's Grille House
and Sports Bar on Second Street will host the pre-fight weigh-ins on July 18.

First bell is slated for 6:30 p.m.

"We've got our vendors and everything lined up," Bryant
added. "The only thing we've got to do now is basically fill the seats."

Some 1,000 seats — ringside and general admission — will be
available.

Those looking to purchase tickets will find available phone
numbers and outlets listed below.

"I think it's going to be a great show," A&D's Julio
Alvarez said earlier this week, referring to the sizable card that's being
spliced together by matchmaker Chuck Bayley. "Everything is coming together."

Although Alvarez originally hoped to have midstate favorites
such as Harrisburg's Josh Bowles and the York tandem of Carney "Beeper" Bowman
and "Stone Cold" Stevie Weimer on the card, none of those fighters is scheduled
to appear.

"It's judgment day for everyone," Bryant said, playing off
the show's title. "It's judgment day for the fighters, the trainers, myself and
the city of Harrisburg. If people show up, we can do it again.

"The whole city's being put on notice."

NOTES — Two more
shows are in the works for later this year, one on Aug. 17 that could land at
the State Farm Show Complex and an October event that might be held at one of
downtown Harrisburg's hotels or possibly at Fort Indiantown Gap.
